- 2021 (08.08.2021) - Solo Exhibition - "Mirror of Venus". This collection of 17 oil on canvas, acrylic, and charcoal paintings, created over 9 months, revisits the theme of the female face. "The theme of femininity has been addressed by artists throughout human history and will always remain relevant. A woman who creates life, a muse, a synonym for beauty and tenderness, strength and fragility, a woman as the cause of wars and their cessation, an impulse, magnificence, and mystery. The Eastern and philosophical concept of the female captivates and inspires me." The exhibition also included a performance with the theme of 'destruction' of a painting created with great love and passion and the audience's reaction to this act of destruction.  

- 2022 (22.07.22) - Solo Exhibition - "I Feel YOU". Featuring 20 oil paintings focused on the person and their gaze. "What does the human gaze conceal?" This question was individually addressed by visitors to ABT ART STUDIO.

The personal art exhibition "Synesthesia" in 2023 offers a dive into a world where art erases the boundaries between senses, awakening a deep internal resonance.

- 2024 (16.12.24) -  Exhibition Participation: “Art on the Streets” (December 16, 2024)

Participated in a significant collective exhibition of talented Moldovan artists at ArtCor Chișinău. This event was part of the project Trendsetter and supported by the Ministry of Culture. My works, including “I Create Reality”, “Silent”, “The Energy Between Us”, and especially “Revelation”, were featured prominently in this innovative open gallery initiative.

The exhibition transformed the city of Chișinău into an artistic landscape, showcasing artworks on LED screens and integrating them into public spaces while also broadcasting audio elements on the radio. This project made art accessible to a broad audience, blending creativity into the daily lives of city residents and visitors.

Highlighted Work: “Revelation”

Among the presented works, my painting “Revelation” held a special place. This piece explores themes of self-reflection, sincerity, and the search for harmony, encouraging viewers to look within and find answers to profound personal questions.

Project Significance

The open gallery project represents a step toward making art a part of everyday life, reminding people of the beauty that surrounds them. It also provided an opportunity to engage with a diverse audience and promote cultural enrichment.
